Anita Barrows is a hero of mine. Her poetry about all things is courageous and original and full of love. Barrows has one eye honed in on the suffering that makes us all human, and the other on transcendence and what's possible in spite of war and genocide. -Dennis Bernstein, author, Notebook 19 and Five Oceans in a Teaspoon In this transcendent collection Anita Barrows tells of "what is unseen, unseeable." Her poetry is a way of knowing across time, space, history. She captures both endurance and fragility, she "braids memory into memory," always listening and then listening for more. To read these poems is to hold us all gently in cupped palms, with generosity. -Elisa Salasin, author, She Watches Wild Horses
